Contrary to expectations, a new study finds that pre-treatment with cannabidiol (CBD) worsened cannabis-induced memory impairment and psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia patients — challenging the belief that CBD protects against THC.

How the brain decides what to remember: with a virtual reality-based behavioral model in mice, the scientists discovered that long-term memory is orchestrated by key regulators that either promote memories into progressively more lasting forms or demote them until they are forgotten

Existing evidence does not clearly link maternal paracetamol (acetaminophen) use during pregnancy with autism or ADHD in offspring, finds a new umbrella review of systematic reviews published in The BMJ today.

Exercise enhances memory, mood, and learning through stronger glutamate signaling but can become toxic when pushed too far, according to a review of 57 studies.

New State-Of-The-Art 7 Tesla MRI Reveals How the Human Brain Anticipates and Regulates the Body’s Needs

Via specific circuits the brain’s executive control center (prefrontal cortex) sends tailored messages to regions governing vision and motion to ensure that their work is shaped by contexts such as one’s level of arousal and whether they are on the move.

Neurosteroids reshape NMDA receptor pores, increasing or decreasing conductance depending on pore shape, which were previously thought to be static.
